Is it permissible for the wife to share with her husband the sponsorship of one orphan, and in his expenses such as the school bag and Eid clothing?
Sponsoring an orphan is one of the good deeds encouraged by the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, who said: "I and the guardian of the orphan will be in Paradise like this," and he gestured with his index and middle fingers. There is no objection to a husband and wife sharing in the sponsorship of an orphan, with each paying half of the requirements. This is considered cooperation in righteousness and piety.
